LIMESTONE - Tony Maynard Broyles, 59, of Limestone, passed away August 2, 2018, at his residence surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer.

Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you,” was his favorite verse.

In 1998, he was the co-founder of Pioneer Shooters Junior Basketball, Inc.

He retired after 28 years of service from Bosch Braking System in 2008 due to medical circumstances.

He was a 4-H volunteer, mentor and supporter of the Washington County program. He served on the Board of Directors for Washington County Farm Bureau from 2010-2012. He was a Master Beef Producer for the State of Tennessee and a Simmental Cattle Breeder. He has been a member of the Simmental Association for 29 years.

He served as the College and Career leader at Cherry Grove Baptist Church from 2008–2017. He served alongside these young adults on many mission projects across the nation and in the local community. He also bussed the Cherry Grove Baptist Church senior citizens on various outings.

He was a Chaplain for Disaster Relief for the State of Tennessee and Bristol Raceway Ministries. He had a passion to tell others of Jesus Christ’s saving grace. He was driven to obtain as much training as possible to assist in any crisis. He trained at the Billy Graham Training Center in Crisis Prevention with an emphasis to assist children in crisis.

Tony will be missed by family and friends, but all who knew him know that he is in the presence of Jesus. The family would like to thank everyone who visited, extended their kindness and cared for him during his sickness and in his passing.
